[edit] Expanded the article

I took a crack at expanding this article with information taken from a couple of local publications I got in Vegas. All the facts (such as the number of speakers and seats, the credits for the production crew, etc.) are taken from these two articles, but I thought it excessive footnote every last one of them. Let me know if there is something in particular you'd like to have a footnote, and I'll be happy to make the edit. I made a few cosmetic and organizational changes too, but made an effort to include all the previous content (even the stuff that may be "original research").

The dramatis personae section is a nice touch, but I wonder if its needed / relevant. So many characters appear in the show, its hard to single out just some. To include all would be too much. The emphasis of the show is less on the characters who appear but on the music and acts. I'd suggest removing it. --Elfrock 22:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

The list of characters gives insight into an element of the show's concept that is a bit difficult to put into words. The people I've talked to about the show are both surprised and interested to learn that the characters aren't so much historical as fictive. Perhaps their presentation in a list invites the dreaded problem of listcruft, so I'll see whether I can write some prose around a few good examples from the list.

Good rewrite. Works well. --Elfrock 19:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks! -Throbblefoot 08:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quebec or Canada isn't relevant to LOVE

I removed the reference to Quebec in the parenthetical remarks about Cirque (the change wasn't signed - my apologies). While I understand the import of this topic, this isn't the best article to discuss it. In the interest of NPOV I recommend that we leave the topic of the Cirque's correct regional/national appellation evolve to the main Cirque du Soleil article.
